Thickness of Pipline (ASME B 31.4/31.8) v/s Thickness of Piping (ASME B 31.3)
(OP)
Dear Experts,
Need your quick help on the subject line.
In general What I think is ASME B 31.3 is far more conservative when calulating Thickness of Pipe when compared to Pipeline Code ASME B 31.4/31.8.
The reason being Safety in Process plant environment is considerably critical when compared to the Popeline travel in differenct Geogrhies.
Pls share your knowledge regarding the same.
